Question

2. Lena can finish 2 math homework problems in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many problems can she finish in 75 minutes? Use the rate table below to find the answer.

Answer 1

10.

Because the ratio is how many problems:How much time so it is 2:15

Multiply each side by 5 10:75

So that means 10 problems in 75 minuets.

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Set up the following proportion.

2 questions /15 minutes = x questions / 75 minutes.

Notice that both ratios are set up the same way -- questions / time. All proportions are set up the same way.

Mulltiply both sides by 75

2 * 75 / 15 = x

2 * 5 = x

x = 10

She would be able to solve 10 problems in 75 minutes.
